Superconducting Qubits, the basis of many quantum computing architectures, may have only taken on a major leap. Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed innovative manufacturing methods that significantly reduce noise, one of the biggest challenges facing quantum hardware today. This breakthrough brings you closer to building scalable, high-performance quantum computers that can solve complex problems well beyond the scope of classical systems. This advancement comes from Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA), a multicenter initiative supported by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program. QSA focuses on engineering quantum technology that can solve complex scientific problems…
